Add a UUA RSS Feed to Your Website
To display one of our story feeds on your website, follow these instructions and then sit back and watch your web page update automatically as each Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) article or resource is published!
Display a Feed in Text
Step 1. Cut and paste this text and save it as onyx-rss.php.
Step 2. Create a new php page in the style of your website and insert the following code into the body. Be sure this page is saved in the same folder as the onyx-rss.php file.
<h1>Unitarian Universalist Top Stories</h1>
<?php
include 'onyx-rss.php';
$rss =& new ONYX_RSS();
$rss->parse('http://feeds.feedburner.com/uua');
while ($item = $rss->getNextItem())
{
echo "<ul><li><a href='";
echo $item['link'];
echo "' target='_blank'>";
echo $item['title'];
echo "</a><br />";
echo $item['description'];
echo " (<i>";
echo $item['pubDate'];
echo "</i>)</li></ul>";
}
?>
Include a Different or Additional Feeds
The sample above will embed the UUA Top Stories feed on your website. To include a different feed from the UUA or from UU World magazine, follow the instructions above, and simply change the title (Unitarian Universalist Top Stories) and URL (http://feeds.feedburner.com/uua) in the code from Step 2 to one of the following.
To include more than one feed on a page, duplicate all the code from Step 2 (replacing the title and URL for each of the feeds you want), but remove the third line (include 'onyx-rss.php';) from all but the first instance.
